Benfica tv on dish network

Canal televisivo chega aos EUA
ASSINATURA DE CONTRATO



O canal televisivo do Benfica vai chegar aos EUA. A assinatura do contrato de distribuição entre o clube da Luz e a DISH Network Corporation vai ser assinado dia 20 de maio, quando os encarnados se deslocarem àquele país para defrontarem o New England Revolution.

Este protocolo resulta da promessa feita por Vieira na viagem que fez aos Estados Unidos, em fevereiro passado, onde inaugurou cinco casas do clube. "A Benfica TV é um projeto estruturante para o clube, uma ferramenta que permitiu valorizar a nossa marca. Quero que a nossa televisão possa chegar aqui. Vamos começar a internacionalizar a Benfica TV", disse, no último dia da visita, antes de regressar a Lisboa.

Vieira aproveitará para conviver com os adeptos benfiquistas residentes naquela zona, estando marcados um jantar para Boston, a 20 de maio, e outro para Toronto, no dia seguinte.

 

most likely with the "luso pack" spt/sic internacional, sicN, rptinternacional, euronews.

 

no way. i believe they will just put the channel on the "LUSO PACK" with spt/sic internacional, sicN, and rtpi. its just a way for dish network to get more costumers.

even if you have to pay for it won't be more than 5 bucs a month.

do you have the new portugal red jerseys on sale yet??? with players name and #'s.???
and when you going to have the new benfica jerseys for next season, ??? benfica showed them today.

by the way outcome you didnt have air horns in the store on ferry??? the cans by itself don't work. better get some for the wc. can't celebrate without them.

ps. if you don't subscrive for this channel, i will stop buying jerseys etc.. from your store. LOL

 

to CSD.
hopefully you'll have these scarfs at the store soon. can't wait to get them.

 

i don't believe it will be a paying channel, specially for now.like in portugal.
but we'll see.
about european matches they won't be broadcasted in the channel. even repeats(they show in the channel in portugal) because they don't own the rights for North america.
also taca de portugal and taca da liga they can't broadcast it live because they don't own the rights to it. maybe just the repeats.
but repeats are also good, specially for us here in the N.A. most of the games are around 2,3,4 o'clock in the afternoon. so if you missed it because of work etc.... you can always watch it later. that's whats good about it.
Liga games can't be shown live on BENFICA TV in Portugal. but here in North America if DISH NETWORK wants they can put the BENFICA liga games on BENFICA TV, because DISH NETWORK owns the Portuguese League games rights here in the United States. the same way DISH puts the liga games on spt/sicinternacional here in the U.S., they can put it on BENFICA TV here in the U.S.
but makes no difference if the BENFICA games are on BENFICA TV or SPT/SICi. because most likely they will be in the same package. the only good thing about it was that it could open another a spot on spt to show another liga game going on at the same time.

about BENFICA TV, from what i've seen in the PC. they have BENFICA's futsal, hockey, basketball etc... games live. they show the youth system(juniors) games live, they show benficas team practices live and the liga game repeats, benfica "classic" games, they have different kinds of talk shows(debates and those where people call to give their opinion), game shows, kids shows in the morning, NEWS, exclusive interviews with famous benfiquistas, players etc..... and backstage access to the benfica world, before the games and after the games exclusives etc... etc....

 

those teams that have a channel like barca and real etc... they don't work as a "real tv channel" they just show repeats of games and interviews with players a couple hours a day. actually barca tv is shown on fox soccer channel.

 

i get your point. but if they charge for it like you say 9.99 not alot of people going to sign for it. so they won't be making that much money, because if people don't have dish yet, they are not going to switch to dish to pay 10 dollars more for a channel.
and if they charge for it, i don't see how dish can get exclusive rights for the channel. then benfica could just put the channel on cablevision like spt/sicinternacional.


now you look at it the other way. these companies(cablevision, dish, direct tv etc...) make their money by getting new customers, and to do that they need to offer people more/exclusive channels for less money than the competition and not by ripping their existing customers off = losing costumers.
dish networks buys the rights of the benfica tv in the U.S. like they do with sicNOTICIAS(exclusive only on dish network) ,and they put benfica tv in the "luso pack".
now you can attract and get more people that have cablevision, direct tv, verizon fios etc... to switch to dish network = you have to sign a 2 year agreement, you have to choose a package that best suits you (classic bronze100, silver200, gold250 or platinum) + you need to get the "luso pack"extra 25bucks

i believe this way they can make more money.

if they charge for it it won't be more than 5bucks a month. maybe they will put the channel in the "luso pack" and instead of paying 25bucks a month for the pack, they will increase it to 30bucks a month for the pack. that's also realistic.

 

there's an article on yesterdays 24horas newspaper (mourinho on the cover) on pg 5 that says benfica TV will be broadcasting starting JULY. and will be on the LUSO PACK or you can get it seperate.

Benfica TV em terras do Tio Sam em Julho

Luís Filipe Vieira formalizou ontem, numa unidade hoteleira em Providence (Rhode Island, Estados Unidos da América), o protoloco com a DISH Network para distribuição do canal Benfica TV nos EUA. "A existência da Benfica TV só faz sentido se for global", vincou o presidente duante a cerimónia. Para o líder do emblema da Luz, a estação oficial do clube "pode e deve ser um embaixador do país", daí que tenha sido escolhida a parceria com a maior distribuidora para a comunidade lusa nos Estados Unidos. Vanessa Teixeira, gestora de marketing da DISH Network para o mercado português, vinca que "o canal do Benfica acrescenta emoções".

As emissões arrancam a partir do mês de Julho, por sete euros mensais para quem não assina o pacote luso. Os assinantes deste pacote de canais nada mais terão de desembolsar e o canal chegará gratuitamente às casas do Benfica nos EUA.

 

so the broadcast will start in july on dish network.
it will be FREE for the people that have the LUSO PACK
and 7euros (+/-9dollars) for the people that don't have the LUSO PACK and just want the BENFICA TV channel.

GREAT NEWS. awesome deal
